</div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Every student pays a few hundred dollars a year to the College in the form of the student activities fee. The College immediately gives that money back to the student body to do with as it wishes, from bringing speakers to campus to having concerts nearly every weekend.</p>
<p>Any student can have a say in how the money is spent.</p>
<p>The student activities fee is split between the <a href="http://sga.grinnell.edu/">Student Government Association</a> (SGA) and the <a href="http://www.sparcommittee.com/">Student Publications and Radio Committee</a> (SPARC). Two-thirds goes to SGA, and one-third goes to SPARC.</p>
<p>SGA further divides its portion of the money between a number of committees, which take recommendations from students on speakers and performers to bring to campus. The students can also serve on any of the committees — Concerts, All-Campus Events, Student Planning, and Service. “Grinnell’s student government has a lot of freedom and money,” says former SGA treasurer <strong>Gargi Magar ’16</strong>. “It’s up to students to determine what kind of things they want on campus.”</p>
<p>The two committees with the most funding are the Concerts Committee and the All-Campus Events (ACE) Committee. The ACE Committee handles events that are open to all students on campus — mainly speakers, but also Harris parties and other events not connected to a specific student group. “ACE Committee serves as a conduit to the student body, both to turn their ideas into reality and answer questions that they may have regarding events and policies,” says ACE co-chair <strong>Abby Goreham ’15</strong>. “As chair, I enjoy doing my part to make sure that the Grinnell traditions I've come to love in my time on campus continue.”</p>
<p> “SGA at Grinnell has more independence and ability to create student events than most other colleges,” says ACE co-chair <strong>Ryan Hautzinger ’15</strong>. “The All-Campus Events part of SGA is a perfect representation of that power. The money is there solely to put on events students want.” Last semester, ACE brought Malcolm London, a Chicago poet, and Hudson Taylor, who founded Athlete Ally, to campus. This semester, the committee is working to bring standup comic and frequent visitor Hari Kondabolu back to campus.</p>
<p>The Concerts Committee brings more than 50 artists to campus each year. This semester, Concerts Chair <strong>Violeta Ruiz Espigares ’15</strong> is especially excited about Baltimore-based rapper-producer duo TT The Artist; Mighty Mark; Lust for Youth, a Swedish dream-pop group; and Saba, an up and coming rapper from Chicago.</p>
<p>In addition to suggesting speakers and performers, students can propose and vote on initiatives each semester to address issues on campus. In the past, successful initiatives have resulted in more printers being installed in academic buildings and a swingset being constructed outside the Joe Rosenfield ’25 Center.</p>
<p>Each year, students host more than two dozen concerts; 100+ all-campus events ranging from speakers to parties in the Harris Center to the Grinnell Relays; events, such as an Eid al Adha dinner and the Titular Head film festival, which are hosted by student groups; and more. Most importantly, though, any student can have a hand in shaping the culture on campus.</p>

<div class="field field-name-field-gallery-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/news/shaping-students"><img class="img-responsive img-responsive img-responsive img-responsive" typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://www.grinnell.edu/sites/default/files/styles/homepage-slideshow__normal/public/T%20Shaped%20Ben.png?itok=n2SkoDP4" alt="Ben Doehr &amp;#039;15 in Lyle&amp;#039;s Pub" /></a></div></div></div> </div>
</div>
</div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Two <a href="/academics/research/maps">Mentored Advanced Projects</a> (MAPs) in <a href="/academics/areas/theatre-dance">theatre</a>, one in <a href="/academics/areas/chemistry">chemistry</a>, an internship with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and a job managing the campus pub — the key points on <strong>Ben Doehr ’15</strong>’s resume indicate the chemistry/<a href="/academics/areas/economics">economics</a> double major’s depth and breadth of knowledge.</p>
<p>Grinnell strives to produce “T-shaped students” such as Doehr, the depth and breadth represented respectively by the vertical and horizontal line of a T. This model stands in contrast to both the traditional university model, which emphasizes depth, and the perception of the liberal arts model, which is sometimes viewed as providing a base of knowledge a mile wide and an inch deep.</p>
<p>When they were applying to colleges, both Doehr and <strong>Iulia Iordache ’15</strong> wanted something they struggled to find elsewhere. Iordache was looking for an alternative to the system of higher education in her native Romania, which would have required her to know exactly what she wanted to study when she applied. Doehr wanted to have the opportunity to study <a href="/academics/areas/physics-astronomy">physics</a> and economics in depth while also doing technical theatre and design work. </p>
<p>Both have credited the College with expanding their knowledge within their key areas of study and helping them develop transferrable skills such as critical thinking and strong writing skills.</p>
<h2>Developing deeper understanding</h2>
<p>Doehr and Iordache point to MAPs as a key means of gaining depth. MAPs offer students the opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty mentor. The results of these collaborations are frequently presented at academic and professional conferences as well as on campus.</p>
<p>Doehr likes to joke that being <a href="/news/everybody-comes-lyle%E2%80%99s">manager of the campus pub, Lyle’s</a>, has taught him as much about economics as his coursework has. It’s not that much of an exaggeration: “Managing the pub gave me a very hands-on experience on the practical side of things,” Doehr says. His MAPs with the theatre department also allowed him hands-on work with interactive design. He and fellow student <strong>Caleb Sponheim ’15</strong> created a series of three <a href="http://www.bendoehr.com/installations">interactive installations</a> in Roberts Theatre.</p>
<p>Iordache also credits her professors — both the degree to which they care about their students’ success and how accessible they are — for the depth of her knowledge. Iordache completed an education MAP that involved traveling to Romania to study the impact of voluntourism on the local population. Initially, she intended to be an economics major, but changed her mind and pursued <a href="/academics/areas/psychology">psychology</a> instead. She added a second major in <a href="/academics/areas/russian">Russian</a>, and after completing a summer MAP with Assistant Professor of <a href="/academics/areas/education">education</a> <a href="http://www.grinnell.edu/users/jakubiak"><strong>Cori Jakubiak</strong></a>, decided to pursue international education when she graduates.</p>
<h2>Establishing a broad base of knowledge</h2>
<p>Iordache came to Grinnell in part because the open curriculum allowed her a chance to explore her interests. Outside of class, her perspective has been broadened by the views of other students. On a regular basis, she finds herself having conversations that relate to what she is studying. “We were talking about dualism in my psychology class,” Iordache says, “and I ended up having a conversation about dualism versus materialism in the Grill with a friend who wasn’t even in the class. It was a great discussion.” Iordache enjoys these kinds of conversations because everyone brings their own knowledge to bear on a subject.</p>
<p>A summer internship with the FDIC helped Doehr realize how his breadth of knowledge benefited him outside classes. He walked in knowing very little about the day-to-day operations of the FDIC, but quickly learned how the organization worked. He worked with a number of young FDIC employees and found that he could write on the same professional level as they could. He credits his liberal arts education for both his writing skills and giving him the ability to tackle new problems without being specifically trained for them.</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Two exhibitions, "Gordon Parks: The Making of an Argument" and "Playing It Forward: German Expressionism to Expressionism Today," will open with a reception on Friday, Jan. 23, at Grinnell College's Faulconer Gallery.</p>
<p>The reception, which is free and open to the public, will run from 4:15 to 6 p.m. in the Bucksbaum Center for the Arts, 1108 Park St., Grinnell. Refreshments will be served.</p>
<p>"Gordon Parks: The Making of an Argument" explores acclaimed photographer Gordon Parks' first photographic essay for Life magazine in 1948, "Harlem Gang Leader."</p>
<p>Featuring vintage photographs, original issues of Life, contact sheets and proof prints, the exhibition traces the editorial process behind the production of the photo essay. The exhibition also raises important questions about photography as a documentary tool and a narrative device, its role in addressing social concerns and its function in the world of publishing.</p>
<p>"Playing It Forward: German Expressionism to Expressionism Today," features work acquired by the Faulconer Gallery from the collection of John L. and Roslyn Bakst Goldman of Rochester, New York. Since the Faulconer Gallery acquired the prints in 2001, the Goldmans have assembled a new collection of prints by international contemporary artists.</p>
<p>This exhibition will feature the print collections side-by-side, demonstrating the Goldmans' continued interests in cutting-edge printmaking and their fidelity to Expressionist ideals, including a wide variety of printing processes, masterful technique and challenging subject matter.</p>
<p>"The Parks and German Expressionism exhibitions feature artists confronting the issues of the world around them," said Daniel Strong, associate director and curator of exhibitions at Faulconer Gallery. "While they are separate exhibitions, they speak to similar issues, and both align with Grinnell's commitment to social justice."</p>
<p>Strong curated "Playing It Forward: German Expressionism to Expressionism Today" while “Gordon Parks: The Making of an Argument" was curated by Russell Lord, Freeman Family Curator of Photographs at the New Orleans Museum of Art, in collaboration with The Gordon Parks Foundation.</p>
<p>In addition to the opening reception, numerous free public events will be held at Falconer Gallery during the two exhibitions, which will run through March 15. These events include a:</p>
<ul><li>Concert: Maurice Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin: A Memorial to Friends Killed in the Great War," performed by Eugene Gaub, associate professor of music at Grinnell College, at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28. This concert is part of "A Century of War: 1914 and Beyond," sponsored by the College's Humanities Center.</li>
<li>Gallery Talk by Russell Lord titled "Authorship and Context in Question: Gordon Parks and the 'Harlem Gang Leader' Essay," at 4:15 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9. The talk will explore how Parks' first photographic essay for Life magazine was conceived, constructed and received.</li>
<li>Performance of "Carrying it Forward: Images, Word and Music," presented by students and guest performers celebrating Parks' contributions as a photographer, writer, filmmaker and musician. The College's Office of Intercultural Engagement and Leadership will host the performance, which starts at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12, in Parks' honor and in celebration of Black History Month.</li>
<li>Gallery Talk by Jenny Anger, associate professor of art history at Grinnell College, titled "German Expressionism in America," at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24. The talk will explore how two world wars and Americans' cultural admiration of France and the French bear some responsibility for the uneven American response to this early 20th-century movement in the arts. </li>
<li>Gallery Talk titled "Look Twice" by Christiane Baumgartner, who is internationally known for monumental woodcuts that contrast the modern process of shooting digital video with the physicality of creating prints using ancient woodcutting techniques. Her talk will start at 4:15 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26. Baumgartner's work is included in the "Playing it Forward" exhibition.</li>
<li>Ignite! Community Day on Saturday, Feb. 28, will give students from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade the opportunity to explore "Playing It Forward" through various hands-on classes. The event, offered in partnership with Careers in Education Professions, is free, but registration is required.

</div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>The mention of dining hall food tends to conjure up images of soggy pizza and stale burger buns. Not so with Grinnell’s dining hall. This year, Grinnell made <em>The Daily Meal</em>’s list of the 75 best colleges for food in America.</p>
<p><a href="/about/offices-services/dining">Dining services</a> has a number of ways to make sure the food in the dining hall is deserving of recognition. More than 90 percent of the food in the dining hall is prepared entirely from scratch. Grinnell’s chefs insist on it. They enjoy the opportunity to flex their culinary muscles and believe it’s important to know exactly what goes into the dining hall food. Dining Services’ pantry processes around a quarter of a million fresh fruits and vegetables each year.</p>
<p>The College makes use of as much locally sourced food as it can. The relatively short growing season of the Midwest does present some difficulties. Although a student-run garden provides a sizeable quantity of herbs for the kitchen.</p>
<p>Every summer, Grinnell’s chefs have the opportunity to come up with and test new dishes for the coming school year. <a href="http://www.grinnell.edu/users/williamr"><strong>Dick Williams</strong></a>, director of dining services, enjoys summers in Grinnell for that reason. “I’m kind of a dessert guy,” he says, “so I’m a big fan of our new vegan chocolate chip cookie.” This year more than 90 new items made their way into the dining hall.</p>
<p>Williams oversees Grinnell’s dining operations, which includes directing 10 chefs certified by the American Culinary Federation. These chefs consult with <a href="http://www.grinnell.edu/users/turley"><strong>Scott Turley</strong></a>, the College’s executive chef, when creating new dishes. Turley is the recipient of the bronze medal in The National Association of College and University Food Services’ Culinary Challenge.</p>
<p>Some students are unapologetically enthusiastic about the food in the dining hall: "Each day is the return of a dish I'd forgotten I've missed,” says <strong>Michael Kelley ’16</strong>. And everyone has a favorite dish. “All of my favorite foods are the ones where they try interesting flavor combinations and it works, for example a burger with pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, and banana peppers on it,” says <strong>Sandy Barnard ’17</strong>. Barnard likes a lot of variety in her food and will often go to the spice rack to add extra flavors.</p>
<p>“For me it’s all about choice — giving students as many options as we can,” says Williams, who also serves on the Dining Committee, which advises Dining Services. Students are a major part of the <a href="/news/agents-change">Dining Committee</a>, which Williams says is especially active at Grinnell. In addition to Williams, the committee consists of six students appointed by the <a href="http://sga.grinnell.edu">Student Government Association</a>, four staff members, and one faculty member. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to submit recipes to Dining Services. The chefs take these recipes, scale them up, and try them out to see if they could become permanent fixtures in the College’s dining hall. “We rely very heavily on our student members and implement changes based on their suggestions,” Williams says.</p>

</div>
</div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Loggias are as much a part of the Grinnell College experience as an architectural feature can be. They’re one of the first things people who arrive on campus ask about.</p>
<p>“What are those . . . things?” they say. Grinnellians will respond, “You mean the loggia?” and take a moment to help them pronounce it (ˈlow juh). Once they’ve got that down, the conversation continues: “A loggia is like an outdoor hallway. There’s one attached to each of the three dorm clusters.”</p>
<p>Grinnellians can expound on the subtle differences among loggia. The North Campus’ loggia is a true loggia, attached to the building but not enclosed, like the kind you would see at Cambridge or in Florence. South Campus’ are enclosed — a benefit in winter. The South Campus dorms once housed only women, and the loggia entrances were locked at night to prevent men from visiting after hours. The East Campus loggia is a variation on a loggia because it isn’t attached for the full length of the buildings. It’s newer, like the dorms it’s connected to, with articulating glass and metal panels that can be closed in winter and opened when it’s warmer.</p>
<p>Posters adorning the loggias tell of concerts, parties, and lectures, from discussions of Putin’s Russia to efforts to end world hunger. They hang on the walls and pillars over dozens of bicycles.</p>
<p>Photos of the loggias often grace the covers of official campus publications and are a recognizable symbol of Grinnell for many.</p>
<p>But how many colleges have a landmark with an astronomical oddity? Much as the equinox sends a slithering snake up the side of the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza in Mexico, the vernal equinox allows campus walkers to see the sun rise directly to the east through the Rose Hall arch on East Campus and the Rawson/Gates Tower arch on North Campus.</p>
<p>Loggias are not just a pleasantly peculiar architectural feature. They are part of the fabric of student life.</p>
<p>The strange pride that Grinnellians have in these architectural oddities isn’t false or ironic — it’s authentic — because the loggias shape Grinnell’s culture as much as its campus.</p>

</div>
</div></div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>8,700 miles and 18 hours on his first plane ride separate <strong>Bazil Mupisiri ’18</strong> from his hometown in Zimbabwe. Yet, it’s the <em>milestones</em>, not the <em>miles</em>, that truly set this first-year student apart.</p>
<p>Bazil (pronounced Bay-zl) first learned about Grinnell through the <a href="http://www.usapglobal.org/">U.S. Student Achievers Program</a> (USAP), which provides access to higher education “for determined, bright, low-income youth, producing highly-skilled and liberally-educated leaders for tomorrow’s Zimbabwe.”</p>
<p>Education was a high priority for Bazil’s widowed mother, who teaches in a rural school. “My mother is my hero and greatest influence,” Bazil explains. “She placed great value on education and would often go without eating so we could go to school and learn. We had to grow our own food and save as much as we could. I became a serious student because of her.”</p>
<p>He also became serious about community service. </p>
<p>“Charity events are very important to me. I started a club to assist those that might quit school otherwise. We offered opportunities for study help and to get them back in school. In my country, without education, there is no hope.</p>
<p>“I also started an environmental club, and we planted a school orchard that supplied fruit for the students. We coordinated with the town council to organize tree planting. It’s wonderful to see the trees grow.”</p>
<p>Bazil also worked to prevent HIV/AIDS and support children without parents because of the disease. “I loved making a difference in my community, and these experiences shaped my life.”</p>
<h2>The prosecutor</h2>
<p>His true passion, he says, is public speaking and debate.</p>
<p>“They called me ‘The Prosecutor’ because I like argument and busting opposing teams. I especially like discussing economic and political issues. Our [high school] team won the national championship in 2011 and 2012.”</p>
<p>Because of his interest in local issues, Bazil expects to get involved in student government and has already joined Model U.N.</p>
<h2>IPOP surprise</h2>
<p>Grinnell won Bazil over immediately. “My impression of this place started at the airport, where <a href="http://www.grinnell.edu/users/edwardsj"><strong>Jon </strong></a>and<strong> <a href="http://www.grinnell.edu/users/edwardsk">Karen</a> Edwards</strong> were there to greet me. I thought ‘Wow! There is no college like this in Africa.’ I immediately fell in love with the small, quiet town. People here are so friendly; it’s so secure.”</p>
<p>Once on campus, Bazil was immersed in the International Pre-Orientation Program (IPOP) that precedes New Student Orientation for international and global nomad students. There he met his <a href="/about/offices-services/international-student-affairs/host-family-friendship-program">host family</a>, David and Susan Willig, parents of <strong><a href="http://www.grinnell.edu/users/willig">Jacob Willig Onwuachi ‘95</a>,</strong> <a href="/academics/areas/physics-astronomy">physics</a>. He was also greeted by his aunt from London, who supported his education after his father died.</p>
<p>“My aunt surprised me by coming to see me at IPOP. I had last seen her in 2005 when I was still in boarding school. My host family, the Willigs, who are wonderful people, invited my aunt to dinner in their home.”</p>
<p>“When we first met Bazil,” Susan Willig relates, “he was high on all the excitement of his first plane ride, first time in the U.S. We had a student from China last year, so we expect to involve them both in our holidays and family dinners. Our grandchildren also get to be involved and expand their knowledge of different cultures.”</p>
<h2>Generous, grateful</h2>

<p>Although it’s early in his Grinnell career, Bazil feels confident that he will major in <a href="/academics/areas/computer-science">computer science</a> and <a href="/academics/areas/economics">economics</a>. “I want to be a software engineer, to design software and return home to implement,” he says. In the meantime, he’s taking full advantage of all that Grinnell has to offer, including his First-Year Tutorial, “New Worlds and Ancient Texts: Origins of Liberal Education in the Americas,” advised by <a href="http://www.grinnell.edu/users/pollnitz"><strong>Aysha Pollnitz</strong></a>, assistant professor of <a href="/academics/areas/history">history</a>.</p>
<p>“This tutorial has really changed my interest in history,” Bazil says. “I hated history in high school. Now I love it and will try to take another course, plus all of the others I want to take.”</p>
<p>While there is much for Bazil to experience before returning home to give back, there is much for Grinnell to learn from this first-year’s spirited enthusiasm for generosity and gratitude. </p>
